and wherein at least one part of the wall mount kit is designed to serve as part of the wall mount and also as an antenna. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wall mount kit for mounting a television screen on a wall, comprising: a mounting base configured to be attached to the wall; a screen interface that is configured to be attached to a television screen; wherein the screen interface is connectable directly or indirectly to the mounting base; and wherein at least one part of the wall mount kit is designed to serve as part of the wall mount and also as an antenna. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the mounting base is designed to serve as the antenna. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the screen interface is connected by an arm to the mounting base and the arm is designed to serve as the antenna. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the screen interface is connected by an arm to the mounting base and one of the mounting base, the screen interface or the arm are designed to serve as the antenna. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein part of the screen interface is designed to serve as the antenna. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is confined within a frame in the wall mount kit. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) A wall mount kit, according to claim 6, wherein the frame is cut to form a gap in the frame matching a gap in the antenna. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) A wall mount kit according to claim 6, wherein the frame and the antenna confined within the frame are both configured to be attached to the wall. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the antenna serves as an independent part of the wall mount kit. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the antenna includes a cable for providing a signal to the television screen. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is designed as a log-periodic tooth antenna. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is designed as a vivaldi antenna. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein the part serving as the antenna is confined within the contour of the wall mount thus not increasing the volume of the wall mount with additional parts that are not needed fir the wall mount, while protruding therefrom to serve as an antenna. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A wall mount kit according to claim 1, wherein more than one part serves as an antenna. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) A wall mount according to claim 1, wherein the antenna part is made from a different metal than the rest of the wall mount. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) A wall mount according to claim 1, wherein the antenna part is made from a thicker or thinner metal than the rest of the wall mount. ### Claim 17 A method of assembling a wall mount kit, comprising: attaching a wall mount mounting base to the wall; coupling a screen interface to a television screen; connecting the screen interface directly or indirectly to the mounting base; wherein at least one part of the wall mount kit is designed to serve as part of the wall mount and also as an antenna. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) A method according to claim 17, wherein the screen interface is connected by an arm to the mounting base and one of the mounting base, the screen interface or the arm are designed to serve as the antenna. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) A method according to claim 17, wherein the antenna is confined within a frame in the wall mount kit. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) A method according to claim 19, wherein the frame is cut to form a gap in the frame matching a gap in the antenna.
